NEW YORK, Feb. g Correspondence
of the BEE Everything bold and fluffy
seems to have been concentrated on some
goods recently brought out. Great
blocks of long pile wavy plush, set
among stripes of equally pronounced fab
ric; very broad stripes running down the
goods and varied perhaps by small
squares set within them on huge checks
formed by transverse bars. These and
kindred patterns are sometimes shown
forth in alterations of color so brilliant
that they would be loud but for that
refinement of dye which is always notice.
able in expensive materials that some
thing which makes the red or yellow of
an ADMINISTER carpet, so different from
the colorlngs of the ingram. A
pronounced shade of blue may alternate
with gold and bronze; crimson with
green, etc. These goods must of course
be carefully handled and require
OFFsETTINGs OF GENTLE CHARACTER
and thus while the groundwork is silken
and soft, the favoritc, though not exclusive
combination, is an extremely fine grade
OF cashmere that composes the waist and
n portion of the skirt. There is, how
ever, Il certain something in stripes and
bars which prohibit them usually from
full dress, strictly speaking, and these
very striking costumes, therefore, are
worn for afternoons, lunches, etc, rather
than for set ball. They are essentially
in bad taste, yet they are unique and may
express iauntlness. AT all events, some-
thing different and a relief from eternal
repetition of fabrics really pretticr but
less original. AS an effort also towards
change, come not infrcquent combina-
tons of white and black for full dress, as
where white tulle is diversified by black
chenille dots or plain white tulle orna-
mented by bows of black velvet ribbon
THE HAIR.
The decline of frizzes in the arrange
mcnt of the hair may be the prelude to n
fall. Certainly they no longer fall as
they once did and every day the brow

line so important to irregular features or
where the countenanCe savors of the
classic, the pompadour roll grows more
and more in favor. The bang falling
longer in the center and cut upwards at
the sides, is still in vogue but is too unbc-
coming to be very popular. Nothing is
really de riguer, except that we must not
have too much of anything. Moderation
coil or any other dressing is carried for
the most part high on the head with
aigrette of feathers, ribbon or flowers on
one side. Oftenest by far, the first

shown ready made, with little trouble
one can provide a complete assortment.
Now and then, however, some fashion

JEWELRY.
Low necks being in high favor, the lower

class of jewels. Dressy, or more strictly
speaking, partially undrcssed women

pearls or diamonds. Necklaces of these
special kinds are in great request-one

seed pearls are thus kept together Or the
solitaire glitters as the connecting link
where a row or more of large pearls are
placed succcssively. Variety is afforded
by the most elegant pendants imaginable.

combined with diamonds they adorn
some of the most expensive pendants.

glasses, etc, the powder-boX also being
composed of this dark and handsome
